A bit off topic, but is that where the homelink buttons are installed factory, or is that an aftermarket garage door opener?
He added that one himself. The factory ones are in the driver’s sun visor.

I'd like a link to the part... I'm liking it there better than in the visor.

I’ve seen them on Amazon before, but I don’t know where else you could pick one up.

I see you installed a home link is there a power supply up there that can be tapped? and do you have any pictures of the install
Yep there is a power wire up there you can tap into for the courtesy lights but I recommend using an add-a-tap (link below) to go into the fuse box. Theres easy ground locations as well. I forget which number I used but either constant power or accessory power when the key is turned are the options. Pros and cons to both. Dont have pics of the install but it’s pretty straightforward.

Did you have much of a problem fishing the wire down to the fuse block?

Nope, it was quite easy. I started up at the overhead console and went between the windshield and headliner which is flexible enough to put a couple fingers under to stuff the wire in. Then at the a pillar I popped back the plastic just an inch or so at the top and went across avoiding any curtain airbags. I then pulled the rubber door seal down from the a pillar to the kick panel by the fuse box and routed the wire down. I also popped open the kick panel and door sill plastic for some extra room to route the wire. Then opened the panel under the steering wheel and got the wire into the fuse box with the add a circuit. Zip tie where you like and then push door seal back in being sure to keep the wire tucked in all the way.

If my Redarc TowP comes in this weekend, I'll be installing this in. The controller will be in the left.
